Why This Award-Winning Piece of AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted::Matthew Allen’s AI art won first prize at the Colorado State Fair. But the US government has ruled it can’t be copyrighted because it’s too much “machine” and not enough “human.”

He's lying though. He's pretending the original (wierdly blurry) output was the only AI output, but the details and basically everything else is also AI generated. Nothing is his own skill, brushstroke or even artistic effort/craft, other than prompting the machine-image-generator that he sources the work from.

I only have this article to go on, and it does not suggest that at all. What sources do you have that show he is lying about his input to the artwork?

[–] HaggierRapscallier@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I follow artists on twitter. And they pointed out that he was trying to imply that the details were his own work.

Who is they? Do you have links?

I'm not trying to be critical or skeptical, just want to be as informed as possible.
